[1]Thetelegram from the R.M.C. of the Caucasian Front (received
by the R.M.C. of the Republic on May 27, 1920) raised the
question of releasing captive Cossacks—privates and NCO’s of the
Kuban White army—from P.O.W. camps and sending them
home; the officers, it was proposed, were to be put at the disposal
of Front Headquarters.
